Abstract

The formation of diazophenols by nitration of suitably Substituted anilines and rearrangement of the nitroaromatic nitramines so formed is presented. The scope of the reaction is discussed, and a mechanism for the nitramine/diazophenol rearrangement is proposed which is consistent with 15N-labeling experiments.
